ENTRY       EC 3.5.3.12
NAME        Agmatine deiminase
CLASS       Hydrolases
            Acting on carbon-nitrogen bonds, other than peptide bonds
            In linear amidines
SYSNAME     Agmatine iminohydrolase
REACTION    Agmatine + H2O = N-Carbamoylputrescine + NH3
SUBSTRATE   Agmatine
            H2O
PRODUCT     N-Carbamoylputrescine
            NH3
COMMENT     The plant enzyme also catalyses the reaction of EC 2.1.3.3,
            2.1.3.6 and 2.7.2.2, thus functioning as aputrescine synthase,
            converting agmatine and ornithine into putrescine and citrulline
            respectively.
PATHWAY     PATH: MAP00330  Arginine and proline metabolism
